Veerhaven, Wet dock in Rotterdam Centrum, Netherlands
The Veerhaven marina contains 75 berths spread across several piers, accommodating vessels with a maximum draught of 4.5 meters in tidal waters.
This harbor facility developed as an integral section of Rotterdam's port infrastructure, supporting maritime operations throughout the city's commercial expansion.
Maritime traditions continue at Veerhaven through regular gatherings of vessel owners, sailors, and Rotterdam residents who maintain connections to seafaring heritage.
The dock provides essential maritime services including fresh water access points, electrical connections of 230V and 380V, plus washing and sanitization facilities.
The water level in Veerhaven fluctuates by 2.5 meters due to tidal movements, requiring specific docking techniques and specialized moorings for vessels.

Rotterdam showcases a diverse collection of tourist attractions that reflect the city's transformation into a modern European metropolis. The rebuilt city center features contemporary architectural landmarks such as the Cube Houses, the Erasmus Bridge spanning the Nieuwe Maas river, and the Euromast observation tower rising 185 meters above the urban landscape. The Markthal, a covered market hall opened in 2014, combines commercial activity with residential space under a large horseshoe arch decorated with digital artwork. Museum Park houses several cultural institutions, including the Kunsthal exhibition building and the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, which displays Dutch and European paintings from medieval times to the present day. The city's attractions extend beyond architecture and museums to include green spaces and specialized venues. Het Park, designed in 1852, provides 19 hectares of landscaped gardens along the riverbank, while Kralingse Plas offers a 100-hectare artificial lake surrounded by forest for outdoor recreation. Rotterdam Zoo, the largest animal park in the Netherlands, presents more than 180 species across themed habitats, including an oceanarium. The Maritime Museum documents the city's development as Europe's largest port through collections of ships, navigation instruments and port equipment. These attractions together present Rotterdam as a destination where historical maritime heritage meets contemporary urban development.
